Catholics and American Culture: Fulton Sheen, Dorothy Day, and the Notre Dame Football Team

Catholics and American Culture: Fulton Sheen, Dorothy Day, and the Notre Dame Football Team by Massa, Mark. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780824519551.

While in the early years of the century Catholics in America were for the most part distrusted outsiders with respect to the dominant culture, by the 1960s the mainstream of American Catholicism was in many ways "the culture’s loudest and most uncritical cheerleader." Mark Massa explores the rich irony in this postwar transition, by examining key figures in American culture in the last century.
